I would like advice which is the best way to apply for my wife's visa 820 / 801 to Australia either from Thailand or in Australia. Also time frame from applying to granting of 820.

Thanks for replies.

Your wife needs to be in Australia to apply for a 820/801 visa.

In past I got my wives residency Visa application through Australian Embassey Bangkok.

My wife was not in Australia. Was granted 10 months after application. Having a residence and Australian income makes it easier.

"You must

be in a genuine relationship with your spouse or de facto partner who is an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen

be in Australia when you apply for this visa and when we decide your temporary visa application. Family who apply with you must also be in Australia"
